The newly discovered substance, pyro-
iusin, contained in nearly all pit aud BIZ
luminous Goals. is said by Professor Er-
langen, to lie one OF the most powerful
anticeptics now known. and in this fact
lies its intense and rapid tanning proper
ties, an effect which renders it useful in
the production Of leather. In regard to
the quality as preventative Of fermen-
tation, it is found that on contact Of the
article with those skins and muscular
tissues which undergo decomposition. it
combines with them with such an inten-
sity that after lying long time in water
neither decomposition nor extraction Of
the pyrofusin results. In dry condi.
ton poryfusin is fine; non-triturable
substance, without taste or smell, in
soluble in water, not poisonous and Il sp.
pearance like catechu. In caustic am
monium, potash, or soda solutions. vet
pyrofusin is very soluble, and forms a
deep, dark brown homogeneous liquid.
The intense action of this peculiar sub.
stance ia found to shorten the process Of
tanning leather considerably; thus taking
the time OF tanning with pyrofusin as
one, alum requires fourteen, fannie acid
twenty-eight; or for alum tanning four
teen times as many days are required.
and for fannie acid or bark tanning
twenty-eight times.
The march Of progress is shown by the
following statement: 1t is now possible
to construct complete sewing machine
in o minute, or sixty in one hour;
reaper in fifteen minutes or less, 800
watches in day, complete in all itheir
appointments. More important than
this even is the fact it il possible to con-

oHonor to Whom Honor Is Due

Jefferson county not only has men Of
princely wealth, social position and politi-
cal fame, but also of genius. One of such
men of genius, Of which we justly feel
proud, is Elisha s. Snyder, Of Snyder's
Mills Mr.. Snyder has devoted good part
of his long and nscful life to inyenting la
bor-saying machinery. He was also the
first man to invent threshing machine
with a cleaner combined. He has also in
vented reaper-knife with from four to six
cutting edges-a marvel in its way-and a
large number of other things, such as a cur
rycomb device for tightening the tire Of
a wheel without cutting and Welding il, a
circular motion without crank, and other
things on which he has as yet taken no
patent. On the Both of November last, he
was granted patent on an bsertiJs s1,c-
tooth for circular and upright saws This
last invention is one of the best, if not the
very best for its purpose that has ever been
invented, and he will surely reap large prof
its from is sale Manufactures Of saws
cannot, we are sure, do better than to put
themselves in communication with Dir. Sny-
der and secure from him the right to manu-
facture and sell the same.-,S.>pherdstoien

we seriously doubt if it is really credit to
the county, We cannot speak for other

this county nearly every patron of the So

Where sentinel stars keep watch and ward
Afar and nigh---
Keep watch and ward as long ago
From peerless heights they twinkled down
TO guard The Infants manger crib
In Bethlehem TOWN.
Where unseen angels hovered near.
And veiied their faces with their wings
In reyerent homage bending low
Before the King Of Kings.
Aloft a diamond meteor sweeps
In swift career, athirst for fame,
And in horizons purple breast
1t sheathes its flame.
1t cannot be this glowing orb
In course erratic went estray-
A myriad cleaning lamps were swung
To light its way
III nude DeCembers chilling grasp
The brown earth bare and rugged, lies
And dreams mayhap of Summer blooms
And bright hued butterflies
Against the landscape, penciled dim
And shivering in the wintry breeze
Gnarled boughs are cloudward groping-
Wraiths of leafy trees.
But, stay are these the brightest ti1ts
The seasons canvass we can lend?
And must indeed its colorings
SO neutral blend?
ALI, no within old winters heart
(DeSolate, worn and Sere)
1t nestles close-the fairest gem
In the rosary of the year.
And so are stilled the whirling wheels
OF Progress through the earth
While man recalls with grateful heart
a SNvIoUR's birth.
Perchance, tonight, tue seraph throng
Are gathered near HIS glistenng Throne
And, PROSTATE, contemplate the day
He came unto HIS own.
And by this token doth my pen
Its tribute trace, in humble phrase,
And greet the Nmas-tide again
In poets flowing lays.
